Hello,
i already have rewitten the Preferences UI for JamP. While using the
Listeners which broadcast lots of internal states i figured out that
its time to change the whole logic behind. This will lack the release
of JamP for quite some days. I hope i can announce the next release
until end of the month.

After such long time i'd
like to inform you about a new release of my Mp3 Player project JamP.
Current version needs Java 6 at least to run. The Codebase is completly
reviewed. Lots of bugfixes and smaller feature enhancements like Always
on Top and more chooseable Look and Feels went into it. Overal
performance was improved which sould result in a better
handling.
This release is only the start of reworking on the project after such
long time, so expect updates in some time. Happy new Year to everone
...

Hi, beeing at Evoke
this weekend was much fun. Meeting several people i know from the scene
was exciting after such long time. I meet Skyrunner from Brain Control
which was responsible in our demos for the music back in 1999.

I already posted the link to
Multikulti
my Open Source Internationalization Framework
for Rich / Fat Clients and Applets in the german news section. Its
beeing under heavy development these days as i currently working on the
Editor which makes it possible to translate an application at runtime.
For those who are concern in the project should take a closer look at
the project website.
See you soon....

Hello, at this moment
Germany is taken
over by Football. I really like the ambience all over. A lot of games
were held near by my living place, streets were filled by People
allover the world. I meet lot of people while riding the train, much of
them directly came from somewhere to watch the games.

with big delay a new project
called
MusicBox go into first beta cycle tomorrow.First involved testing
people are friends of mine to get direct feedback from them.First beta
phase includes Windows/Linux version on commandline.Keep an eye on
this,as more details will be published soon! So long - Stay Tuned

an updated version of the JamP Player
is now avaible via webstart and zipped version(will come later today).
It fixes some GUI bugs on the Equalizer.A new Audioengine will be soon
avaible for JamP,i currently test and integrate it...Stay Tuned.

I still working on JamP, i
allready invested a lot of time and power to make it even better and
more stable. Some refactoring i made last days, lots of new features
will get into the new release. So be patience and Stay Tuned ;)

Hi, i'm a bit frustrated
about the the deployment of JamP, i run in serveral problems distribute
it on all focused systems. I still have to made some tests. I allready
collected the demos that will be avaible there next, hope to get them
online next. Stay Tuned, i hope to post some better news next days.

..long time no news from me,
let me explain what happen last weeks. Plans made are hard to combine
with real life.

At first there was my mental
hangeover (allread gone) in middle of June. Sun was shining and i was a
lazy dude. After that the OpenGL fever catch me, i coded a small
Demo-System to learn. I also think that there are no good Java demos
avaible, all tests i made (together with olaf) showed that there is
nothing for Java to hide in performance. May Nice release some demo in
a few next months, i currently asked Teanuc and Skyrunner if they had
interrest in making a demo. Ecplise and Hannes also showed interrests
in demo making, and some new Coder may join....Topmost thing i made was
research in 'how to improve JamP' to became a killer Appication. This
will be done from now on. I will not yet post detailed infos about
that...

The Skined-Playlist is half
finished, i think this month it will be released, sorry for that long
delay.

The Demo-Section will also
updated next days, some will be replaced by new Assembly and other
Party releases.

...i see the next weeks will
not so much engaged with work since last, that enable me to work harder
on the final release of JamP. The situation is a lot better now, i own
a laptop..like last year i code most features on the railway (I like
this). The basic of the Skinedplaylist is done, some rendering issues
still need to be fixed. Today the demo
section is beeing updated with releases from Razor 1911 and
Mfx & Kewlers...nothing more today..Just Stay Tuned :)

Hi, after last month advice
i accepted a new Job. Well i allmost busy with this job, so things slow
down. Actually the 'new' Playlist is under devlopment, the result is
not worth yet to be published in any kind. I current search for a
laptop that enables me to develop when travel by rail. Also i launched
a new Project today, details will follow later. The project will become
the focus later this year. Please be patience in the meantime. Again
thanks to all your feedback got so far. As allways contact me for any
question you have. Enjoy life and Stay Tuned ;)

Hi, with a small delay the
new JamP is out
now. The Firewall / Proxy support was improved. Connect to Internet
Radio will no longer produce 'clicks' at start. Also i closed a
memoryleak - the result is a much smaller memory usage of the Player.
All 'Build In' Radio Stations were updated, also new were added.

I uploaded also two Desktop
Wallpapers, made by Hannes Neumann avaible in the JamP
Section.

I plan start to on work the
Skinned Playlist this week. As this is one of the major things left to
do, expect next update someday in April. Happy Sunshine to everone -
Stay Tuned ;)

After last two month of work
for CeBit i'm able to continue working on this site and JamP. Before
the player update will be avaible at the end of the week, i decided to
upload some good demo releases
from last Year. Have fun watching them, and as allways Stay Tuned :)

The new JamP is avaible. Lots of
new features finally reaches this new stable version and also the
special editions. One major new feature is the Equalizer Function
added. This enables you to controll the Audio Signal in the way you
want. The Equalizer comes with build-in Audio Presents for usage on
laptops or the next party and more.

The reason for the delay was
that i had the knowlege to implement the Equalizer in middle september.
But also a new window handler was implemented to bring docking
functions for the Player Window and Equalizer Window. The Docking
framework it currently in beta state. You can enable it from with in
the preferences, also there can be configured how less space must be
left to make the Windows snap together. The docking mechanism will be
improved soon, to bring more usablility to the User.

For those that haven't
looked into the last avaible Alpha version i listed most of the
features added to the stable release in the actual Player section.
Also you can take a look at the Screenshots i provide there. You will
regonize that lots of things were improved or more usable now.

Since the publication in the
Swing Sights at Sun, the Project got so much response, i never thought
about so much people would like it. So first i was a bit shocked - then
i start thinking again what to do next to push the project to the max.
Most of the result gone into this release. Also I plan some cooperation
with the internet radio ets-global.org next. More on this
will follow soon. Please give me your feedback
as done before - Stay Tuned ;)

Well, the testing for the
new stable release finally started. The testing itself should take
about 3 or 4 days, depending on testers sparetime. I do not write the
new feature list today - but you're able to take a look at the last alpha version
(r3). This will give you some introduction about it...but.. still great
things to come...Stay Tuned :)

Happy halloween everybody,
i'm sorry. I wasn't able to finish the upcoming release of the player
this month. The reason are problems with new features on Linux with IBM
and Blackdown VM (i isolated the problem yet'). Some other, that i
implemented tons of new features and estimated the bunch of small
things to do....Stay Tuned :)

Some good Demoproductions came out
last weeks, so i uploaded again some more. This time only 64kb Demos
were added. Also there is a update from Farbrausch's Candytron Demo
into the final Version. Demogroups like Conspiracy or Cryonics show
that there also had the knowlege to produce high quality releases.
Im currently working on the stable version of JamP 0.518, hope to get
it finished within this week. I have to implement only some small
things.... Stay Tuned :)

...sorry for the delay with
the Player, i had some private things to do last weeks. Now im back to
push the Player Project again. ...in the near future there will be some
new avaible OpenGL Demo. Hope to get 0.518 soon online as stable
release.....

I reviewed the complete
code, also bigger parts were recoded as the Skin Loading. I tested jamp
against 70 winamp 2.x skins. Only one skin messed up! The Menu on the
Player window got a new look, also the Skin Menu is complete recoded,
and synchronized with the Skin Browser. I made lots improvements to
support most plattform, including Macintosh. I got much feedback last
weeks from Macinitosh users that the Player was looking crap on Mac
OSX. I fixed this display problems with this release canidate by using
the default look Mac OSX provides for Java. You can switch the look
from within the preferences dialog under "Look and Feel". Many thanks to Thierry Janaudy for his
feedback to get JamP running on Mac.

In the Skin Menu the
'defaut' skin' is now avaible, this is usefull for users running a
special Edition. Also no more 'flying Windows' are visible, the player
got the original feeling now. Thanks to Olaf
Kliche for his statement about this. The 'build in'
Internet Radios were updated, 39 radios are avaible. The radiolist
contains all from Jazz to Classic, from Tekkno to Trance, and more.

Avaible are all known issues
about the Player. Also the whole JamP section is avaible in english,
just click on the flag to switch between german and english. If you
found some bug or whatever, please let me know.

So, it was again hard work
to get there, hope you like the Player....Stay Tuned :)

The LWJGL OpenGL framework
in version 0.7 is released, i updated the Render To Texture Demo
by the Linux binaries. The Mac OS port is announced for version 0.8.
With the Mac port the Visualization will be avaible for all focusd
plattforms.
